The bright arrow feathers streaked through the air quickly, causing the airflow around the body to make a shrill scream. Looking at the fatal arrow that hit him face to face, the Shiyu Sect young man let out a low roar; at this moment, he was still full of confidence. Although the arrow was extremely fast and flew to his eyes in the blink of an eye, it was still in his highly concentrated soul. With his knowledge, he had already determined the trajectory of the arrow. With such a powerful and fast arrow, it is absolutely impossible for the opponent to control it to change its direction through spiritual power; although at this moment, it is too late for him to use his body skills to dodge, but he can only inject all his spiritual power into the sharp sword that has already been laid out in front of him. Defend in the middle, and when the arrow is close, try your best to block it to change its path, and then you can easily take down the opponent.
The young man's idea is not unreasonable. In the martial arts world, once a monk as an archer shoots arrow feathers at close range, if its trajectory is detected by the opponent through soul power, then his offensive will be very easy to be resolved by the opponent; after all, the arrow feathers shot are different from those in the hand. The weapon is difficult to control remotely through direct spiritual contact. Once you are unable to hit the opponent preemptively, you will have a high probability of being at a disadvantage in subsequent close combat. Therefore, on the Douwu Continent, archers are mostly used for long-range suppression or fixed-point assassination in wars; in an honest one-on-one negotiation, powerful archers are extremely rare.
But the moment the arrow feathers in front of him came into contact with the sword in his hand, the young man from the Shigu Sect realized something was wrong. Under his perception, the spiritual power contained in the arrow branch was far from what he could bear. However, under the blessing of the silvery runes around the arrow body, there was a strange surge of energy at the arrow. Penetration. The sword blade in his hand, which was filled with spiritual energy, was pierced directly when he tried to move the direction of the arrow, as if he had no resistance. This sharp sword with excellent material was specially given to him by his master. It can be regarded as cutting iron like clay, but when faced with this arrow, it was like a piece of rotten wood and had no blocking effect at all; what remained after the collision between the two was only the shocking gap at the blade and the surrounding area. There were fine cracks, and the arrows flew directly towards the young man's vital parts without any change.
In shock, the young man of the Shigu Sect finally sensed the approach of death. However, the expected outcome did not happen. When the arrow that was supposed to pierce his head approached his forehead, there was a crisp sound of metal and stone hitting, and then the arrow suddenly bounced away, and it drove dangerously through the young man's hair. Passed, heavily imprinted on the stone wall of the rear arena. At this time, all the spectators, including Tianjihong, focused their attention on the cracked golden rune stone between the young man's eyebrows.
"As I expected, as the direct descendant of the Shiyu Sect elder, you really have a lot of life-saving means." Bai Qian also sighed softly, "I had no intention of sharing life or death with you, otherwise the Shiyu Sect's anger would I, the Bai family, really can’t bear the coming. But today, it’s you, Shiyu Sect, who has insulted my Bai family in Japan. This arrow should be regarded as a lesson to you and a warning to you, Shiyu Sect; as long as I, Bai As long as our family exists, you, the Shiyu Sect, should not even dream of intervening in this [Eastwatch]. I think today’s matter ends here, what do you think?”
At this time, the disheveled young man from the Shigu Sect had not yet recovered from his shock. He knew in his heart that if the life-saving rune stone passed down by his master had not saved his life, he would probably be a corpse lying on the street now. With such a terrifying opponent staring at him, if he continues to struggle here today, the only one who will suffer is his Shigure Sect. With the opponent's weird arrow skills, he may be able to take his life at any time. Since the other party has given him a step down, it is better to retreat first.
"Damn it! I, the Shiyu Sect, have remembered what happened today, and I will definitely come to your Bai family again in the future to ask for advice!" The young man could only say in this stern tone in his embarrassment. With his wave of his hand, a group of Shigure sect disciples beside him could only follow him away in dismay.
As the conflict between the two parties came to an end, the passers-by watching the excitement dispersed, whispering from time to time about the two thrilling duels that had just taken place. After a while, only a group of Bai family disciples and Tian Jihong, who was still very excited, were left in front of the ring. It is not difficult to understand the excitement in the latter's heart. He did not yet have the strength to fight against his enemy Shigu Zong, but he happened to witness such a good show of Shigu Zong showing off their power only to be defeated in the end. The person who took action was still about the same age as himself. A young genius easily defeated the previously arrogant leader of the Shigure Sect. At this moment, Tian Jihong couldn't help but think about it. Since the other party also disliked the Shigu Sect, he wondered if he could take this opportunity to join the Bai family to practice. In this way, his problems would be solved.
"Brother, I see that you have been standing here for a long time and are reluctant to leave, but I have the impression that you are not acquainted with your Excellency. I wonder what you have to say?" Bai Qian had already noticed the strange and dazed expression on the side. Tian Jihong, who had been standing there for a long time, stepped forward and asked.
Tianjihong finally came to his senses from the exciting battle just now, and quickly clasped his fists and replied: "Young Master Bai is too polite. I am just an unknown person passing by by accident. Like my brother, I have never been used to Shi Yuzong being so domineering. It's a pity that I don't know how to practice, so I couldn't help the Bai family when they were in trouble. Fortunately, I later saw that Brother Bai Qian was very skilled and easily defeated the leader of the Yu Sect at that time, and I couldn't help feeling happy. So I stopped here to get acquainted with you."
Bai Qian couldn't help but be stunned when she heard such words. Although the other party humbly called himself a nobody and admitted that he did not know how to practice, such an ordinary person, who seemed to be just a child of his own age, suddenly appeared in the West Street where monks gathered and said frankly that he wanted to Getting acquainted with herself, the young master of the Bai family; it was the first time for Bai Qian to encounter such a strange thing, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious about it.
"I just saw Brother Bai Qian show off his magical powers. I have always admired the Bai family's kung fu very much. It is a great fate to meet young hero Bai Qian here today. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to follow Brother Bai Qian. Practice by your side? If I can succeed in practice in the future, I will advance and retreat with the Bai family and fight against the Rain Sect together." Tianjihong continued without being humble or arrogant.
"Hmph, where did I think this young boy came from? It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters and join my Bai family to practice. He also said that after he succeeds in practice, he will fight against the Shigu Sect together. Just because of your continuous practice A little brat who doesn't understand yet, he talks like he's on equal footing with my Bai family, what a shame!" A follower next to Bai Qian couldn't help but complain in a low voice. He was also one of the first two people to impulsively stand up and challenge Shigu Zong after losing the duel.
"Bai Lin! Don't be rude!" Bai Qian scolded, he was rather fond of the generous young man in front of him. Due to the declining talents in his family, he, like Tian Jihong, was given important responsibilities at a young age. Everyone in the Bai family regarded him as the hope of the family. Therefore, Bai Qian naturally endured tremendous pressure that should not be expected at this age, and his mental state also deteriorated. Like Tian Jihong, he is quite precocious and usually shows a certain calmness in his movements. Perhaps it was her sympathy for Tian Jihong that made Bai Qian not look down upon such an ordinary boy of the same age.
"Little brother, you praise me so much. I was quite lucky to win against the leading disciple of the Rain Sect just now." Bai Qian told the truth, "In terms of strength, any Shiyu Sect disciple who is qualified to be crowned a true disciple is quite lucky." The disciples are all considered to be the best among their peers in the entire Douwu Continent. Although I am a descendant of the Bai family, my cultivation level is only the same as that of the Yuzong youth just now. I can successfully win more. It relies on the [armor-piercing arrows] given by my father during his lifetime. Our Bai family is originally a family of bows and arrows. This forging method of inscribing runes to increase the penetrating lethality of arrow feathers is probably only mine in the entire continent. Therefore, having such a magical weapon in hand just now is indeed a bit overwhelming."
"As for my little brother, you mentioned that you want to join my Bai family to practice. Alas! This is not to embarrass you intentionally. It's just that you just heard what the people of the Yu Sect said at that time. Now my Bai family is about to collapse. The situation is In danger. To tell you the truth, the head of the family, Bai Xingyao, is my grandfather. However, he was fatally injured in a fierce battle with the Black Dragon Society about ten years ago. He has been bedridden since then. My father had no choice but to take over the management of the Bai family. The overall situation. But then somehow, such top-secret news was leaked out; many rising forces in the martial arts world have always regarded my Bai family, a martial arts family that has been passed down since ancient times, as a thorn in their side. At this time, I heard that the head of the family was seriously ill. , the news that the Bai family is leaderless, naturally they all want to add fuel to the flames and accelerate the destruction of my Bai family, and then get a piece of the pie."
Bai Qian couldn't help but show a look of pain on her face. "Now, with the intervention of many forces, our Bai family has long been torn apart. Various factions are fighting openly and secretly for the position of the next head of the family, but no one can see that there are other forces behind them secretly supporting them; these forces are just waiting for me. The supported faction gains power, and then can be used as a puppet to control and gradually annex the entire family. Under such circumstances, my father is unable to save himself, and he himself fell into the fight within the family two years ago."
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to mention Bai Shaoxia's sadness. Please forgive me!" Tianjihong saw Bai Xing'er and others around him looking dejected and unwilling. He also understood that the Bai family might really be in crisis now. It's time for survival. But he really didn't expect at first that the high-spirited young man in front of him would be the young master of the Bai family.
